Fit Body Boot Camp

Ruben and Vicki is amazing. Love their energy and passion for helping people. I am recovering from cancer treatment and was skeptical about doing a boot camp. When I told Ruben my situation, he was very compassionate and understanding. During my training he would always push me when I could and make sure that I was not doing anything that would injure myself. I really appreciate that. It was always a fun class. I sweat my butt off. Was able to build up my strength and endurance.
The great thing also about them is that they are a team. Vicki is a nutritionist that can tell you all you need to know about eating right. They even have twice a month «How a Man Cooks» and «How a Woman Cooks». They teach you how to meal prep. It is a great added value.

Thank you Vicki and Ruben for the change that I am experiencing right now. Deep down I knew I could do it, but you pushed me enought. Thank you for keeping an eye on my shoulder and wrist, now I’m able to do so much more.
Also I’m eating smarter. As of today I’m 17 pounds lighter.

After making excuses and going through many health issues and other stuff I got my butt in gear and gave Monrovia Fit Body (Ruben) a call and it’s all history from there. I absolutely love going to the gym now. The routines are different every day. Not only do you get an amazing work out but you get one and one support and a nutritionist (Vicki). You can’t go wrong! Ruben and Vicki have really pushed me to my limits and proved to me the strength I have and that it comes from within you. I highly recommend Monrovia fit body to anyone that wants to have a great work out and have fun doing it.

I love going to Fit Body! I think all of the trainers are awesome. Everyone is super welcoming (especially Vicki) when you join and there is such a great energy in class. The trainers Ruben, Jordan and David are motivating and encouraging. Joining Fit Body back in April helped me reach my goal weight for my wedding. Fit Body is truly the only place I look forward to going to get a good workout. I highly recommend you try it.

I joined Monrovia Fit Body Bootcamp on a Groupon trial. I loved it! It is the best work out I have ever done! Ruben and Vicki are an awesome team. They are really educated in their specialty as a trainer and nutritionist. I never thought that I would love to go work out until I joined MFBB. It is a great environment with great members who constantly support and motivate you. Jordan and David are two great trainers as well and are a great addition to MFBB. I have learned so much from both Vicki and Ruben and am on my journey to a healthier way of life. They are very involved in your work out and nutrition. Constantly giving inspirational advice while working out and the best advice of what works for you as an individual. It’s funny how those of us who have been working out for years join MFBB and start our work out but realize that we have been doing certain work outs incorrectly. This is where I was most impressed with MFBB They corrected my form to make sure I was getting the best out of my work outs. I love the challenge and motivation they all give me to always do better than my best!

MFBBC has given me the best fitness and weight loss experience yet. Ruben and Vicki are very dedicated to helping clients reach their fitness and overall health goals. They are not only invested in helping you lose the weight, but they teach you how to keep it off. Overall it’s a fun and motivating atmosphere and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see results and optimal health!

If you are looking for fitness that works please look no further… Monrovia Fit Body Boot Camp is a wonderful place that will help you meet your fitness goals whether your goals are to lose body fat or just get fit. Ruben is the most awesome trainer ever! He cares about how you perform each activity so you get the most out of it. Along with Ruben is Vicki who is so very awesome! She will assist you with your nutritional needs with compassion and the most caring attitude. Keeping fit is not easy but Ruben and Vicki actually make it enjoyable! Ruben, Vicki and the rest of the «Fit Bodies» are always encouraging! –A. Brown

Prior to joining Fit Body I tried going to the gym, jogging, work out videos, etc. but nothing managed to keep me motivated and keep going back the way Fit Body Monrovia has. Ruben and Vicki are very personable and approachable and they truly care about helping you achieve your fitness goals and will hold you accountable to your progress. If you are looking for a welcoming place to work out that will keep you motivated and disciplined this is the place to go!

I started Monrovia fit body boot camp as a 2 week free trial. I only thought I was going to attend for the 2 weeks and then stop. I ended up loving it soo much that I signed on for a year. I love this place, and I look forward to going everyday. I have never been soo motivated to workout. I do have a gym membership, but that does not compare to this bootcamp. Reuben is awesome, he kicks my butt, and makes sure I am doing the excersise correctly, ouch. He definitely got me out of my comfort zone. Vicki is also awesome, she gives me the support I need to eat healthy, and keep my weight off. She takes time out to talk to you about your eating habits, and your lifestyle. Vicki and Reuben are always there when you need them, never fails. They are both so motivating to me I feel no stress when I go there. Every Monday we tell them how are week was, so to me it makes me want to lose weight, and do better. At Monrovia fit body it’s like having a personal trainer, and a nutritionist for a low price, can’t beat that. Before bootcamp I was in my comfort zone with classes at the gym, and no one was there to tell me how to do the excersise correctly. I didn’t have anyone pushing me to do better, but here at fit body bootcamp Reuben and Vicki both are very genuine people that do care how you do a plank, or how we’ll your forms are, or how low and correct your squats are. They really do want to see everyone of their clients succeed. They really take time out to ask how everything is going and will sit with you to find out if everything is ok. To me that is genuine. I have seen a change in my body and it’s been a month since I started. I have a little bit more weight to lose and I know I can reach my goal by attending classes 4 times a week. I definitely have more upper body strength, and I can do excersises that I wasn’t able to do before. I will definitely recommend Monrovia Fit Body Bootcamp to everyone. This place is awesome.

This is honestly a great workout! I only wish I had the opportunity to attend it more often because I don’t see how it would be possible to not see results. Everyone is motivating and the workouts are what you want to make them into; and when you see people next to you working harder than you, you’ll most likely up your own intensity. You also receive nutritional advice, and for a road warrior like myself, this is incredibly valuable and holds you more accountable/​devoted to improving your health. I’ve never had a class where the instructor was completely tuned into everyone’s form and able to help everyone safely, which is extremely important to me since I do not want to get hurt at the hands of amateurs. Don’t be intimated; try it!

I just love Vicki and Ruben, they are the heart and soul of Monrovia Fit Boot Camp. I got a groupon for me and my friend for 6 six weeks.
Ruben is great. He really knows his stuff. Vicki is a sweet heart. She’s very fit and a role model.
One of my friends lost 20 LB.
I gained 6 LB within the six weeks i was there, because i didn’t change my diet. It was fun, hard, but not very effective for me. Even if i didn’t lost LB, i totally had a great time. Next time i will have to have a meal plan and listen to Ruben.

Awesome trainers AND you get the best advisors in nutrition. The results are sexy, sexy, sexy. Check out the Before and After’s of clients; craazy. Get fit with these experts!

Shortly after my last review, I was contacted by Ruben/​trainer. He said he’d let me know the soonest he had an opening. 2 months later I was able to join the 5 am session. Going to the 5 am session did not hurt as much as I thought it would. I appreciated the opportunity to come and try it out. Within the 6 week session, Vikki, the nutritionist made it a point to do a one on one. Although I was not able to attend them, I liked that Saturday workshops about health were offered.
The training team (Ruben and Vikki) do a good job of touching base and motivating folks via text/​email/​etc. Unfortunately, I got really sick at week 5 and I wasn’t able to complete my 6 weeks; but even in 4 weeks, I felt better and I did lose some weight.
Although I’m still finding my own rhythm and work out schedule for what might work for me, Vikki and Ruben work hard to motivate and educate their trainees into a better/​healthier life style. Glad to see that so many people are so positively impacted by this experience. Best of luck to everyone.

This was the best boot camp I have ever been to. The instructor was wonderful at getting you motivated and hitting goals that you never thought you could do. I saw great results in just six weeks. I could fit into my jeans again. Hope to go back soon.

Started out as seeing a Groupon deal and wanting something me and my girlfriend could do together. It ended up being one of the best decisions we have ever made. This isn’t just a Boot camp class, it’s a body /​life changing transformation.
You first start out your first session with a assessment test to see if you could handle the workouts that you will encounter on your journey for your personal «Fit Body».
They have many different sessions you could join, we chose the 5 am session. (I know were crazy.)
The first week was extremely hard. I had struggled with soreness, could barely bend my arm and wondered if I could keep going. We skipped our 3^rd day (haven’t missed a session since) and 7 weeks later I have never felt better.
My goal wasn’t for weight loss but for toning and overall health. I lost around 10 pounds and have been seeing positive results week after week. I don’t think I’ve ever been in this shape since High School. My Girlfriend has lost over 34 pounds but I will let her write her own review ;D
Though it is up to you to get the most you can out of working out and eating healthy, having trainers who set up the workouts, teach you nutrition, motivate, encourage and challenge you to better yourself certainly helps.
Ruben is the trainer who leads the work out sessions. He is young, full of energy and not afraid to push you to your limit. Believe me as many times I think I’m going to give up he’s there encouraging you. Nervous that you can’t keep up with the work out moves? He shows you every single move before you do them and also will correct your form so you get the most out of each workout. He’s the real deal.
Vicki is on the nutrition side of your transformation. She sits one on one with you to go over your goals and how to reach them. This isn’t a diet plan, more of a life change to help you eat healthier to help you succeed. She also joins us sometimes in the work out sessions which for me personally keeps it real. Vicki also will lead workout sessions if Ruben is out for any reason and believe me… She’s no joke. The 5am session gave her a nick name of Little Monster!
Besides the workout classes they also hold monthly health seminar classes to help you even more on your path to your health goals. These trainers really do care.
Are you too self conscious about the way you look to sign up for boot camp? My girlfriend was the same way. There’s no need to be since there is all shapes and sizes of people. In the end we are all there for ourselves and our goals. No judgement, only encouragement.
We signed up for 6 months and haven’t regretted it. Joining Fit Body Boot camp Monrovia is the best decision we have made for our overall health. I feel better, look better and am overall healthier since starting 7 weeks ago. I can’t imagine where I will be in 6 months but believe me, I’m sure it’ll be amazing.
Do yourself a favor, make the first step and join up. You won’t regret it.
Thank you!

IF you’re reading these reviews to help you over the «should I, shouldn’t I» phase, let me tell you right now… DO IT.
I joined Fit Body a little over 6 months ago because I had lost motivation to workout at the gym or even go running in the park. I felt I needed that extra push and that’s exactly what I got from Vicki and Ruben.
Vicki put me on a plan that helped me change my eating habits and Ruben kicked my butt with awesome workouts that never bored me. I decided the 5 AM class was for me, and even though the last couple of weeks I’ve been more of a 6:40PM person, I still prefer the 5AM. It feels awesome to go through the day sore and with the feeling of accomplishment; it also helped me watch what I ate through out the day.
I’ve lost an incredible amount of weight and gained knowledge, about myself about what I ate and about what I should be doing to keep losing weight. Now that I’m at the end of my 6 months period, I’ve reached my goal… which I’m so ecstatic about and I want to go for more.
Vicki and Ruben make the best pair. That is why the people that sign up with them are highly successful, because they work so harmoniously together.

First of all, I rarely review anything on Unilocal.I’m one of those reviewers where something has to be amazing or really awful.
Fit Body Bootcamp definately falls under amazing! I’ve been a member of the club for about 2 months now and I feel better than I have in years. I’ve been struggling for so long to get back into a fitness routine as well as staying consistent. Working at a desk job for 5+ years can make you heavy and unhealthy and I really let myself go. Already in 2 months I feel stronger and healthier with the help of Ruben and Vicki. Ruben has been an awesome trainer and keeps you on point even in a class of 5 people or more. I don’t know how he does it, but he has an eye on everyone. And his random jokes keep me going when I feel like I can’t continue. And Vicki offers the best nutritional advice and is the best at keeping you motivated during a session. She cheers us on as she herself is working out also. Don’t get me wrong; showing up at 5am can be tough sometimes, but I have the evening sessions to make it up if I really can’t make it. At least now when I get up, I don’t have that dreaded feeling I had the first month. (The fear of extra burpees are enough to wake me up. :) Slowly but surely, its becoming a habit. Thanks Ruben and Vicki! I feel confident that I will meet my goal and most importantly maintain this healthy and active lifestyle. :)

Throughout the years of fighting different barriers that my body puts up, from cancer to hormone unbalance, I have never been to a place where I actually see the results in so many different ways! I own my own business and the stress levels that comes with it at times can be overwhelming. MFBBC has allowed me to release all the stress I accumulate during the day. I am now sleeping better and look and feel much better as well! I don’t look as tired as I used to look either!
Vicky and Ruben are awesome! They are so motivational! I had surgery on my left wrist several years ago and my problem is coming back. Ruben has modified my training so that I still get the best work out possible without injuring my wrist. Vicky is very attentive and constantly motivating.
If you are looking for a workout where you can feel great and full of energy this is the place for you! Its a beautiful feeling when you wake up the next morning feeling sore from all the muscle groups that you worked on the day before.
It works people! So head on over and finally change your lifestyle with people who truly care about helping you reach your goals and love what they do while they are doing it! =)

This place has changed my life! Ruben (trainer) and Vicki (nutritionist) are two of the most amazing and motivating people Ive ever met. They have helped me lose weight, eat clean healthy foods, and live a better life style. They have opened my eyes to the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and have made me feel so much better about myself!
The classes are every weekday 5am, 6am, and 7am lasting around 45 min, and 6pm, 6:40 pm, and 7:20 pm for 30 min of intense workout! They also do morning sessions on Saturday at 7am and 7:40am. They incorporate strenghth training, cardio, and foam rolling in their workouts. I feel so good eveyday after starting my morning workout with them. If you stick with it you will definitly see results. I lost over 10 lbs in 3 months and now trying to maintain my weight whille getting a firm toned body!
The other bootcampers are awesome! I am surrounded by wonderful motivating people each morning and have made good friends. We also get together on weekends for beach day, hiking, lunch, and other activities. Were like a family that will always be there to support you to reach your goal and live a happy and healthy life :)

MFBBC has a new location, but the same great people: Ruben and Vicki! The new location is nicer (and cleaner) than the last place they were in… complete with an A/​C! New location = new class times in the afternooon, which really comes in handy when I can’t wake up for my usual 5am class. Sometimes when I’m feeling extra motivated, I’ll go to 2 classes in a day!
My husband has now joined me in coming to boot camp and he’s already lost 17 pounds in 3 weeks of coming (note that he also changed up his diet at the suggestion of Ruben and Vicki) =) I highly recommend MFBBC if you’re looking to get fit for the summer!
Here’s my review from the old location too, written late 2012:
Oh why hello self-​esteem, long time no see!
Long story short:
–Had an AWESOME Boot Camp in San Diego and was going every morning before work (I tend to be too tired after work to be motivated to exercise)
–Moved up to Pasadena to be with my fiancé about 9 months before our wedding
–Procrastinated like crazy to lose the weight for my wedding
–A little less than 2 months before the big day, frantically searched Unilocal for a reputable Boot Camp that might compare with my beloved SD camp
–Found Monrovia Fit Body Boot Camp and gave it a try
So here we are today… less than 1 week before my wedding. In a month and a half, I’ve lost 8 pounds, toned my arms, gotten rid of much of my pooch, and feel GREAT! This overweight and out of shape ex-​athlete has a new found confidence in her body… STOKED!
I frequent the 5am session. I am totally NOT a morning person, but having all the campers there and Ruben and Vicki is very motivating. Ruben is an AWESOME trainer and cracks me up during workouts. He is upbeat and energetic and makes the workout go by quickly. Vicki is super insightful as our nutritionist and cheerleader. She even does the workouts with us at 5am!
Don’t get me wrong, you have to work at this to see results. You need to be diligent about coming every morning. If you can’t make it, Ruben or Vicki will send you a quick workout you can do at home… even if you only have like 10 minutes to do it, they’ll customize something for you! I’ve been pretty good at sticking with nutritional advice from Vicki and it hasn’t been as difficult as I thought it would be. I LOVE mac and cheese, pizza, ice cream, Starbucks… but it has really been a good and gradual transition into eating smarter.
The people I’ve met here are wonderful! I’ve met campers in high school and campers in their 50’s…it’s a great mix. Everyone is outgoing and supportive of each other. Truly a great environment to be in when trying to reach your weight and lifestyle goals!
Here are hesitations that I had that you may have too, so I’ll answer them for you:
1– I prefer doing my workouts outside. — So do I. My Boot Camp in SD was outdoors and I loved it. I was hesitant to work out inside a gym… thought it would be too stuffy. But guess what… it’s not that bad and I actually enjoy it! We have access to soft padding, dumbbells, a fire hose, and other things that I didn’t use when I was working out outside.
2– With a Boot Camp, I won’t get enough 1-​on-​1 attention from the trainer. — Well I can tell you that I get PLENTY of attention from Ruben. Even with 6 or 8 of us together in the gym, he’ll catch me if I decide to do a ‘half’ push up. Or he’ll notice if my form is off during a certain exercise. I can’t get away with anything =) So NOT to worry, you will not get lost in the mix.
There you have it. This ended up being suuuuper long, but whatever. Ruben and Vicki helped me lose 8 pounds for my wedding and I couldn’t be happier! Confidence is priceless, and I’m thankful to have found the Monrovia Fit Body Boot Camp family!
